The unit will be capable of distributing power at 132kV and 13.8kV, and ABB will also be responsible for supplying gas-insulated switchgear, transformers, medium-voltage switchgear and cabling.

“This substation will provide the power required for Najran University’s long-term development,” said Peter Leupp, head of ABBs Power Systems division. “Our compact substation technology will be deployed to ensure the facility has the smallest possible footprint.”
